🥄 Texture

Crisp toasted bread and crunchy, golden brat kartoffeln contrast with a smooth, creamy layer of Nutella and a silky, slightly runny egg yolk. The combination yields alternating crunchy and velvety bites with tender potato interiors and a slight chew from the toast.

👃 Aroma

Dominant chocolate-hazelnut notes from the Nutella mingle with warm, toasty bread and buttery fried potato aromas. Behind these sits a savory eggy scent and a light roasted cocoa note from the milk-cocoa drizzle.

🍷 Pairs Well With

A medium-roast black coffee or a flat white — the coffee's bitterness will balance the Nutella's sweetness and complement the savory egg and potatoes.

🥗 Side Dishes

Fresh mixed berries or a citrus fruit salad to cut sweetness; a simple arugula or baby spinach salad with a light lemon vinaigrette for brightness; or plain Greek yogurt with a drizzle of honey for extra creaminess without overpowering the main flavors.

Instructions

Heat a pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil. Once hot, carefully crack the egg into the pan and cook until the white is set but the yolk is still slightly runny (about 3-4 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.

While the egg cooks, toast your bread slices until golden and crispy.

If using fresh Brat kartoffeln, cut potatoes into small cubes and fry in a separate pan over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper. If pre-cooked, simply warm them in the pan.

Spread 1.5 tablespoons of Nutella on each slice of toasted bread, creating an even layer.

Arrange the toast on a plate, top each slice with the fried egg, scatter the crispy potatoes around the toast, drizzle with a small amount of milk mixed with cocoa powder (1 teaspoon cocoa + 1 tablespoon milk) for a decorative touch, and serve immediately.
